I have seen this problem before but have yet to figure it out. It happens
when I use Configure in the perl package, running BSD csh (actually Configure
switches itself to sh). If I run the perticular command that caused seg.
fault (I turn on set -x to find out), no problem. If I run Configure in
/sys5.3/bin/sh, no problem either.
